LANY cancels Nov. 14 Davao City concert, citing safety and production issues
Live Nation Philippines has called off the band's show at the Crocodile Park Concert Grounds, and ticket holders can move their credits to another show or ask for a refund.
The American band LANY will no longer perform in Davao City on Nov. 14. Concert organizer Live Nation Philippines has cancelled the show because of "safety concerns and production issues," according to Philstar Life.
The concert was set for the Crocodile Park Concert Grounds. It was meant to be the final Philippine stop of the band's "soft" world tour.
Ticket holders are advised to check their email for details from the organizer. They may use their ticket credits for the band's Nov. 7 show, which Philstar Life described as the Manila show. Those who cannot attend another date may request a refund through the SM Tickets refund portal.
Refund requests may also be sent by email to customercare@smtickets.com with the subject line "Refund Request: LANY: soft world tour in Davao." The SM Tickets FAQ page also covers refunds and reversals.
LANY announced its Philippine tour in March. The other dates remain on the schedule. The band will play SM Seaside Cebu Arena on Nov. 6 and Nov. 12, and hold two nights at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on Nov. 7 and 8. According to Philstar Life, Cebu tickets are still available, while only ticket upgrades can be bought for the Philippine Arena shows.
The tour is the band's sixth visit to the Philippines. LANY first came in 2017 for the Wanderland festival and has since headlined solo shows at the Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena. Its 2024 "A Beautiful Blur" tour included the Philippine Arena and Waterfront Cebu Hotel & Casino.
LANY is now made up of vocalist Paul Klein and drummer Jake Gloss. Keyboardist Les Priest left the band in 2022. The group is known for songs such as "Malibu Nights" and "ILYSB."
Why it matters for Davao
Davao fans who bought tickets need to decide whether to move their credits to the Nov. 7 show or request a refund through SM Tickets. The cancellation also means LANY's "soft" tour will no longer include a Mindanao stop.
